This pen looks more expensive than it is, feels comfortable in the hand, and writes very well. I happen to like a full barreled pen and the cartridge style makes refilling easy.
If you are looking for a fountain pen, this one would be a good choice. I'm going to add
the roller ball and pencil in the same style and color to my collection as there are times they are needed.
I can guarentee that you will get comments when you pull this one out of your jacket.
Some said that it writes rather wide so I just did a comparison of three pens to see just how wide the basic writing lines are. I used
the Waterman Phileas Red, a Uni-ball Signo Micro 207, and the Uni Premier Jetstream.
My test, on a piece of Ampad steno book paper, showed that the Waterman and Micro 207
were the same width, and that the Jetstream was noticeably wider. Asumming that the 207 designates
a 7mm ball size, I think that the Waterman's Med nip yields that same width.
Commonly a 5mm is called fine and the 9mm is bold or wide. So it seems the "Med" designate for the Waterman holds up.
Well that's just my rather un-scentific, using a big magnifying glass and plenty of bright light look at it.
